First two pictures are of a doe I shot this afternoon, took advantage of the snow falling and walked a logging rd into a hemlock ridge and saw her and 5 other deer get out of there beds and she ran and stopped 80 yds away broadside and was able to make a nice standing shot on her. The other two deer are from friday, was hunting with my cousin and uncle, waas walking a ridge top and caught them bedded next to a stream without them knowing i was there, shot the first one in her bed and the other jumped up and ran about thirty yards as i reloaded and was able to shoot her as she looked for what had happened.

These pics are from an older cuddeback i bought some refurbished ones from sportsman guide and they work pretty good if the deer are close but i personally think they miss quite a few pictures

[Does it get easier?]

I started on a farm with 16-20 old time hunters that shot anything with legal horns, so for first 5 yrs I shot any deer i saw with horns all but one was 1.5 yrs old. After that our hunting camp broke up and me and my dad were the only ones left to hunt the farm, so we decided to hut for bigger bucks instead and let smaller ones go. I now only hunt for deer of a certain caliber on all three farms we hunt. To me its up to the hunter to choose what size deer he/she wants to hunt. Waiting for a bigger buck makes hunting fun cause it usually takes a lot of work outside of hunting season for treestand preparation and scouting for good areas which makes hunting season last all year. I do agree tho that younger kids need to go through  learning process of just being out there and shooting something big or small to get them hooked. Hard to get young men and women involved if they sit out there alll year and eat tag soup because they are pushed to wait for a monster
